rishi maharishi what are
these great levels
Rishi = rishir darshanaat
= rishi is one who has seen
(darshan) the spiritual truth=seer
his seen things, his cognitions from
his inside self are darshanas
darshanas are deep laws of nature
that govern the universe, the lives in the universe
and these help in living the truths,
intelligently, consciously, purposefully, without ambiguity, without illusions
, without lost in the mystery of the ways of the almighty
Maharishi = mahaan chaasau rishishcha
= a rishi who has seen the truth
more precisely=great seer
at this level his mastery propels
him to share his cognitions with outside world, he
starts teaching the science and
technology of seeing, or rishiing
Rajarishi = raajaa chaasau rishishcha
= a king who has seen spiritual
truth= king + seer
Devarishi = divi rishih athavaa devashchaasau rishishcha
= a rishi dwelling in the heavenly
regions, or, a deva who is also a rishi =god+seer
Brahmarishi = param brahma saakshaatkrtavaan rishih
= a rishi who has seen the supreme
Truth brahman=supreme+seer
who gives these nick names?
one's own self
how is it validated?
by the truths that he cognizes
from within finding parallels with other similar seers.
is he not in delusion?
the subtlety of his perception does
not delude him
is he not arrogant?
he sticks to truth, does not need
others' approval
is this change in nickname
necessary?
it is a result of his attainments,
like , one gets like doctor, engineer, professor,
pandit. comes unasked, unassumed,
the internal university awards this promotion.
like in education, sadhana has
stages, the ability to see increases , gradually,
continuously, yet some mile stones
are discernible
one does not become a rishi or
brahmarshi overnight, it takes intense inputs of
sadhana, tapasya, and soon one grows
stage by stage.
it is too like primary to
matriculate, to graduate to pg to doctorate levels
at one stage the student learns the
alphabet, and grows to read primary books,
then to books of higher standard ,
and a stage will come when he
teaches,
in school, then in a college, then
grows to become a professor in the university.
in the same way the sadhak
learns all in his internal school,
internal university and gains the
ability to read inner scriptures
and then grows to become an
exponent,
a teacher to enlighten the world
towards better life
is he well versed in vedas?
he will not learn by reading or
listening the vedas but he is well versed in reading the vedas , vedic truths,
vedic richas from his inside
this is the essential difference
between rishi and pandit
does he conform to any standards of
living, dress code, food, dwelling, ?
his living , spontaneously will be
in accord with laws of nature without he conforming to any impositions from
external standards
world takes him seriously?
he is not serious about the
perception of the ignorant persons,
like a medical doctor is not
concerned about an opinion of 8th class student about his having the title as
dr
but those who have sufficient depth
of perception do know his worth, value his abilities and thus get benefitted by
his teachings
Well i have answered myself the
validity of my title rishi.
and am in the process of becoming maharishi ,
though it may take a little more inputs to grow into a full ,
the signals from my inside self indicate
that i did graduate rishi level
and just making an entrance into maharishi domain ,
at the doorstep, at the threshold,
yet having a definite peep into the class room,
Just as an engineering student is called engineer soon after joining the engg
coll,
i acquired the title to grow into maharishi ,
it is an ideal, it's an idea, it's a seed,
but it did sprout ,
soon becomes the plant ,
and in due course it expands,
flourishes with full of flowers, fruits, leaves
and plenty cool shade,
taking in the abundant showers of guru grace
